Tautuku Peninsula

The Tautuku Peninsula is a rocky peninsula on the south coast of the South Island of New Zealand and a station on the Southern Scenic Route. It is located in the Catlins, 25 km east of Waikawa Bay at the western end of the Tautuku. The peninsula is bounded on the east by the mouth of the River Tautuku. To the west of the Cape, the Lathyrus Bay connects.

In the 1830s and 1840s was located near the base of the peninsula a whaling station, later a small harbor for fishing and the flax and timber industry was built. With the decline of these industries, the port was closed. On the peninsula are now numerous holiday homes ( cribs ), which are accessible only by all-terrain vehicles, partly because of the lack of roads. The Pratt Road connects the coastal road between Owaka and Fortrose to the base of the peninsula, in their vicinity, a large part of the houses are located. Along this road lies the closest settlement, Tautuku.
